Sarge made it out of the parking lot? Boy sq D is really feeling left out of the fun now...... ;D
Stop by on your way through. If Sarge is down at the Farm you can grub around some with it, have some fun. It is something like tanking, only slower and a lot rougher!

So, Bobby...being the calculating trained warrior NCO that you are. Take the appropriate action, Execute!
your standard grunt level CQB is just putting rounds and rounds on scary stuff till it stops scaring you!

"Duncan: There is a war on. How is it you are headed west? Hawkeye: Well, we kinda face to the north and real sudden-like turn left."Sound advice from Daniel Day Lewis.
I was young when it first aired, edited for content on local television. I went out and crafted my own war hammer after that, but my mother made me disassemble it. something about a PUD pole climber's spike and a chunk of 2x4 just didn't sit right with her I guess ::)
I can see the remake now. They will do some like they did the "Wild Wild West", Annie" or "The Honey Mooners". Play off a great movie or series but be PC with the actors,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Another of my favorite scenes is when Nathaniel (Hawkeye) walks into the Mohawk village, and takes that shot to the head from a war club, shrugs it off, and keeps walking. Talk about tough! Of course the opening scenes of the movie, when they are chasing the deer, were pretty bad @$$, too!
The eyes closed musket shot from the rampart of the fort, through the trees into the running enemy. That was a good scene.
Wait, you guys get paid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know if that'll work, though, as he's an old Blackhawk driver. :-\

Although, to be honest, he is a good one, despite being an aviator! ;) He used to be a tanker on M60s for a bit, before going to whirlybird school. Kinda sound familiar, Don?
Yep...FamiliarGood man there!M60's...Old man, like meGive him my regards...He should have gone to the SOAR, Tankers do well there...

Spent time in the Guard as a Warrant, then AGR, and back to Commissioned. He ended up retiring as an O-6, with most of his Guard time on flight status. Made Master Aviator as an O-6! Even commanded an AV Bn with 4ID in 2003 in Iraq on an Active Component/Reserve Component swap. Retired in 2012 as the Commander of NG Professional Education Center, then took a DAC position there as the Director of the Services Division, where I am now working as his Deputy. Great guy. Great boss.Not sure there are many opportunities for SOAR duty in the Guard.

Something as intense as that can't be properly done just once in awhile. Definitely a full time commitment.
He thought you might know Bernie Nagrete because he used to fly with the 160th. I might have the name wrong, who knows? As for my boss and coffee, he doesn't drink much. Maybe a cup or two a day. Of course, he's not dealing with the same issues nowadays, either. He is definitely patient, though!

That IED in Baghdad definitely killed off some of my gray matter!
